Research that meets review standards

Before clinical research starts at Loyola, the plan is carefully reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) which includes physicians, nurses and nonmedical experts. The primary responsibility of the IRB is to ensure that research participants are protected.

Relationships that advance medicine

Loyola Medicine research often involves clinicians from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. Doctors at Loyola Medicine are on the faculty of Stritch, which is home to several important research institutes.
